In Episode #19, I discuss the very serious and often misunderstood subject of Concussions and Repetitive Head Trauma with one the most knowledgeable and prominent neuroscientists and researchers on this matter. We discuss what a concussion is, the less obvious ways a concussion can occur, how to notice concussion symptoms and what to do if you suspect that your child or athlete has a concussion. My guest also discusses many other pertinent information, surrounding keeping our youth athletes safe. We delve into what can or should be done to protect athletes and how research is battling with the sports culture. We cover many, many topics that are also in her book. In the end, I offer my 'Three Takeaways.
I highly recommend that you go purchase the book The Brain on Youth Sports: The Science, the Myths, and the Future, written by Dr. Julie Stamm, PhD.
